Remakes that SUCK!!

More and more often new bands are remaking older songs and putting them into new beats....some work, some don't....

Let's pay a healthy anti-tribute to those that suck the royal &*^%!

First off...my "inspiration" for this thread....Some band that deserves no credit at all recently created a revision of "Imagine" by John
Lennon....It does no justice to the original, is absolutely horrid sounding...and just makes me irrate simply TYPIING about it...

Rolf Harris did a cover of Led Zepplin's Stairway to Heaven... no, really.

On another note, I heard a cover of Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun which was done in a Frank Sinartra/James Darren - Vic Fontaine style. It was
fantastic, my friend and I were in fits of laughter at work when it came on the radio.

I have found similar versions, but the one I heard only had a man singing, not a duet with a woman. I'll be forever indebted to anyone who can
come up with the artists name.

William S. and his horrible remakes of songs....yes he "sings"! I....want to...live....like common....people, DO what....every....oh never mind! Get
that mp3 (if anyone even has it) and use it to clear rooms!

That guy is hilarious! He's done quite a few other songs as well in that same format...

My vote for worst remake of all time goes to Marilyn Manson for his version of the Ramones "The KKK Took My Baby Away". It's like he completely
missed the point of the entire song, and like everything he does; it has to be all scary and spooky. I mean come on, he's a grown man wearing face
paint. Jokes over Marilyn, and it wasn't that funny.

My vote for runner-up goes to The Lemonheads for their version of the Misfits classic, "Skulls". Guys names Evan should not try to convince anyone
of their "supposed" punk roots.
